Parameter

Defination and notes

Optimal pH

The optimal pH at which this species grows. If the species was not widely studied, the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was used to determine the optimal pH for storage. If two far ranges of pH were determined, the average was taken.

Optimal temperature

The optimal temperature at which this species grows. If the species was not widely studied, the
ATCC was used to determine the optimal temperature for storage. If two far ranges of temperatures
were determined, the average was taken.

COGEM
pathogenicity
rating

COGEM released a comprehensive database of pathogenicity assessment of around 2575 bacterial
species in 2011. The database ranks the pathogenicity of species on a scale of 1 to 4 - 1 being not
belonging to a recognized group of disease-invoking agents in humans or animals and having an
extended history of safe usage and 4 being a species that can cause a very serious human disease,
for which no prophylaxis is known.

Antimicrobial
susceptibility

Are there any known antibiotics that this species is sensitive to? No = 0, Yes = 1

Spore-formation

Is the species spore-forming? No = 0, Yes = 1

Biofilm-formation

Is the species biofilm-forming? No = 0, Yes = 1

Extremophile

Extremophiles are organisms that live in extreme environments, as opposed to organisms that live in
moderate (mesophilic) environments. This category includes acidophiles, thermophiles, osmophiles,
halophiles, oligotrophs, and others. Mesophiles = 0, Extremophile = 1

Gram-stain

Negative = 0, Positive = 1, Indeterminate = 2

Found in human
microbiome

Microbes that live anywhere in the human body and are not pathogenic to humans (i.e. capable of
causing human disease) No = 0, Yes = 1
